FAQ

Does Maths Workout work on iPads and Android tablets?

Maths Workout is currently offered in 2 different versions - HTML5 and Legacy.

The HTML5 version has been built from the ground up to work natively on all devices (e.g. Desktop, Laptop, Chromebook, Tablet, Phone). The Legacy version will work on most devices, including iPads and tablets, although it hasn't been optimised for this.

We recommend that you access the samples here to make sure that the material is compatible with your devices.

What is the difference between the HTML5 version and Legacy version?

The HTML5 version of Maths Workout has been built from the ground up in order to work across all devices. All the content that is in the Legacy version will eventually have an equivalent in the HTML5 version (just in smaller modules to make it easier for users to find the content they are looking for). The HTML5 version is actively being developed and will have new content added regularly and eventually will be integrated with data tracking so teachers can set homework and monitor student progress.

The Legacy version is the same as the previous Flash version (and similar to the old CD/VLE version). It will work on most devices, including iPads and tablets, although it hasn't been optimised for this. This version will not receive any further updates or fixes and will eventually be phased out once the HTML5 version is fully completed.

Is there Data Management/Tracking with Maths Workout?

There is no data tracking available at the moment. Unfortunately we are unable to be more specific about the release date at this time, but it is currently in development. This service will be optional and there will be an additional annual charge not greater than the ordinary subscription.

What are the devices requirements to access Maths Workout?

You will need a device connected to the internet and a web browser capable of running HTML5 and/or WebAssembly. You can check if your browser supports HTML5 here and if it supports WebAssembly here. If you are still unsure if you will be able to access the content, try the free samples here.

Do you offer trials versions?

We are able to offer 7 day trials so that you can test the suitability of Maths Workout and to make sure it meets your needs. Please email us from your school email address asking for a trail.

Do students get their own login details?

There is only one global login for the whole school to each site. Students and teachers use the same username and password to login. When data tracking is available (see question 3), teachers will be able to assign an individual login to each student if they wish.

Is there a single-click login, so the students don’t have to remember the username and password?

Yes there is...

www.mathsworkout.co.uk/login.php?username=xxxxxx&password=yyyyyy

Replace xxxxxx with your username and replace yyyyyy with your password. All usernames and passwords are lowercase with no spaces.

Is it possible to download the content?

Sorry, it is not possible to download the content.

Can I advertise the school username and password on the school website?

No, as this would be a breach of the licence agreement, which states that you must not display the username and password on any publicly available media. So you could display it on your VLE, as only students and teachers of the school can access the VLE. You could send it out on an email newsletter as this only goes to parents and students of the school, but you would not display it on promotional material available at an open day. The basic idea is that you do not allow others to use your login to access the materials.
